Alex Aubert

Water, camper vans, backcountry camping and the Nordic countries

From Brittany, Alex spends as much time outdoors as he can, ideally on the water: kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, fishing. He also loves van life, backcountry camping, and nights under the stars, and he knows the Nordic countries well, speaking two of their languages.

High-energy and a big fan of laughs, buddies, and happy hours, Alex is career military. On the water, he goes kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, catamaran sailing, rafting, fishing, and diving; underground, he goes caving. In the mountains, he hikes, climbs, skis, and goes sledding; he also does cross-country and trail running, and sport shooting.

He prefers backcountry and dispersed camping to glamping, happily sleeps under the stars, travels by van and RV, and also enjoys solo outings. He’s already traveled quite a bit, and he speaks Italian, English, Norwegian, and Swedish.

On Outfarer, he writes regularly about canoeing and kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and fishing, camper vans, backcountry and dispersed camping, mountain hiking on marked trails, and Norway and Sweden, where the right of public access to nature sets the rules for backcountry camping. He also reviews articles on these topics, plus everything involving water; “Reviewed by Alex Aubert” then appears in their bylines. His favorite topics: choosing a beginner kayak or paddleboard, preparing for a night of backcountry camping by a lake, or understanding Sweden’s allemansrätten and Norway’s allemannsretten before you go.

His approach: keeping things concrete, checking the rules in each country’s official texts, and putting safety on the water first. His articles are kept up to date, and any factual correction is noted at the bottom of the page. He’s been part of the team since the magazine launched in 2026.
